    Findlay parts(2011)

    I think the folks from Glen's Surplus were talking of bringing some trucks from Shelby to the show. They've got some nice ones over there and the prices are not outrageous, but are about what everyone is getting for the same thing. Bobby Arms is the guy in charge of them, they do have some...

    m101-a1 trailer .... need part

    Don't know about full sets of hardware, but I needed some replacement stakes for the racks, I had a set that had been in a trailer roll over and needed the uprights. "Jeep Panels Plus" up in Maine has the tooling to make those things, and in any length. I bought two sets from him and they...

    Findlay parts(2011)

    Guess I'd better make Findlay this year....... I've got to be in Toledo on Saturday afternoon, the 180th Fighter and Freedom Flight of NW Ohio are hosting a "Stage Door Canteen" for the WWII vets and we've got some things going on. They were looking for some WWII trucks, but guess the Ohio...

    I am in big trouble

    That my friend is the best way to do it. I know of another contractor who does similar work the same way. Quite successful too. Good luck to you and your significant other. I still think she'll keep you out of that truck for awhile just to be a show off. But that is women...... Mine gets...

    I am in big trouble

    See, all good things come to those who wait.... The problem there is you're going to WAIT an awful long time before she lets you drive that one just for spite. And in that she is a good shot with a .45, I'd not "force" the issue. That's why I don't let my half unit have anything more than a...

    WWWWWWreckerman and Elmo at the car show

    I sure am glad the moderator mentioned that he corrected that little glitch in WM's post, I thought maybe Elmo was playing on the keyboard and got a claw caught and hurt himself. Then somebody would have to notify the ASPCP... (association to prevent cruelty to POSSUMS) The shouldn't be...

    Pics of Trip to Jack's Gov Surplus

    sure looks like its from the cargo variant as our group owns the tractor, and those mounts don't look familiar to me. But its definately that class, too bad the tires are in such bad shape they are getting scarse. Bjorn could ID this better, he's been on top of our project almost from the...

    Late war bed

    The bed I'm restoring for my CCW 5 tonner is an early all steel and has the early style tie-downs, there was another Compsite bed that came with it that was suitable for reclaimation of useable parts, it was a very late war unit, most likely never mounted as it came from a source that worked at...

    WWWWWWreckerman and Elmo at the car show

    "Elmo's Dad", is that LEGAL....... When I read it I was thinking Grumpy old men and a POSSUM, but I could be wrong. Keep up the good work WM, the young ones are the future of the hobby. I know up here, we use the vehicles in support of the Sea Cadet programs as well as other shows and...

    I am in big trouble

    What you do is get her the ring, and some flowers, put them both IN the truck and then tell her you have a surprise for her. She'll most likely not even remember the truck they were in..... BUT like they say, LATER it will get rough. Mine takes it all with a grain of something.... She loves...

    The green thing in ther back looks to be a 5 ton wrecker, you can make out the bed shape and the side mounted hydraulic tank. But what else is hiding in that woods is the real question????:???:

    Hey guts and gals, its a nice day out, (at least here, overcast, but 50 degrees) the snow is melting, I just spent several nice hours in the barn with some of my collections trying to decide which to start first. Cleaned up some stuff and called it a day, everybody else must have stayed in...

    Vietnam vehicles

    You might be surprised at what was actually left behind. There was a report out from a retired General who served as part of the delegation to Viet Nam when we "normalized" relations with them. The general and delegation was met by younger Vietnamese, and the general interoduce to his Viet...

    to destroy a m342 or not?

    The fact that I and several others on here would gladly take thsat truck off your hands would help make up your mind I'm sure. And securing another dump isn't that hard to do, depending on what you need for your line of work. There are plenty of civie dumps out there as well as military 5...
